Susi- Final course Acceptance form

DULLAHAN2

I got a letter in the post this morning regarding completing a Final course Acceptance form so my application can be fully assessed.

On the form Part 2 asks – Details of other financial assistance including BTEA and VTOS (to be completed by the applicant)
Have you applied for or will you be getting a Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) or a Vocational Training
Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) payment for the 2013/14 academic year? Yes ⃝ No ⃝

Then part 3 says I confirm I will not be in receipt of:
a) any grant from an awarding authority
b) any other award payable from public funds as listed in Part 2 Article 14 of the Student Grant
Scheme 2013 or
c) the equivalent of (a) or (b) from another EU Member State, a contracting state to the EEA
Agreement or the Swiss Confederation
d) a Back to Education Allowance payment or a payment under the Vocational Training Opportunities
Scheme (VTOS). I realise that in the event of my accepting another Scholarship, Grant or Bursary I
undertake to repay to SUSI any payments made to me in respect of this grant. I undertake to repay
any portion of the grant that may be subsequently withdrawn pursuant to the relevant clauses
within the Student Grants Scheme 2013

I will be getting the BTEA, so i am a little confused on why they want me to confirm that i wont be getting the BTEA. Am i right in thinking that when i say in part 2 that i will be getting it then that means i wont be awarded a maintence grant but will still be eliglble for the fees grant?

Yes. If you get BTEA you can get a fee grant but not a maintenance grant
